I am home for this fixture and wondering if there is any chance I would be able to get tickets for this and If so what would be my best bet.

 

Last derby game I attended was at SMS and struggled to get tickets for that so not expecting good news on this. ;)

Are you on the club database?

 

The sale of tickets for this game will no doubt be heavily regulated, I would expect them to go on general sale to people on the database, therefore you will have a chance at that point.... if you're quick.

 

If you are not on the database then the question surely will be, how do you get onto it without buying a season ticket?

So long as you call in as early as you can after tickets are released there really should't be a problem getting tickets. No members' priorities, so they'll go on general sale. The club might tie them in with another game though (so you'd have to buy a ticket for an extra home game as well as the Pompey game).

cool well Im on the database from last season so will just have to be very quick on the phone.

 

I'm sure one or two will pop up on here nearer the time too. Or, if you know a season ticket holder that doesn't do away games, you could always apply for the game with their season ticket.

You should stay behind in Perth and watch the game (if its on TV) in the Mighty Quinn. Isn't that Pompey fans WA base of operations?

Surprisingly so. I got tickets for both and I wasn't a season ticket holder though I think I had membership.

 

Think it sold out to members who'd been to a certain amount of away games.

 

What with our improved away support (numbers wise) over the last few years, I fully expect this to sell out to ST holders.

I thought the first game sold out quite quickly, but after getting rained and hailed on and being held back for an hour because of the riot, the clamour to go back the following season wasn't quite there - which was lucky for those of you that chose not to go. They have a roof now, so we'll be heard, not soaked and hopefully coming away happy this time round. I doubt it will sell out to ST holders though. Far too many old timer ST holder that can't be bothered with hassle you might get at **** park.

I suspect the BBC may show it live as well, so that'll also put off a fair few. More chance of me getting a ticket then, goodo.

I'm getting 4 away games in before this one so should be alright for a ticket you think?

 

I'm assuming it will be ballot to STH's with priority going to those who have done most away games.

 

I was wondering/trying to work out how many away games would need to have done to get one in the ballot for this. I don't normally do away games (due to not being able to afford) but am desperate to go see our neighbours for this so will have to get to some.

Hoping 4 would be enough as about how many I think I will do.

won't that mean an early evening kick off time? Carnage.

 

Won't be a late KO. Already moved to 1pm provisionally but it could be moved again for tv coverage. The OB won't allow it to be an evening game for crowd control reasons

When I was down in their neck of the woods recently a fat skate informed me they're only giving us 1600 tickets. If true, hope we repay the gesture and offer them no more than 2k.

 

Cheating ****s.

 

Surely they would give us the whole Milton End for ease of security?

They've managed to split that end before - wont be a problem anyway if the OB perform their usual trick and keep our trains back until they're all inside the ground and then keep us all in for an hour after. Oh, of course, Hampshire Constabulary don't do that anymore as it infringes peoples civil liberties. Let's hope there's no rattley fences down Goldsmith Avenue.

I've heard about these train problems on another thread. This season will be my first trip to Fratton park, so what exactly did the police do in the past? How late were people getting the train?

People were missing the whole of the 1st half the first time around, and heard many stories of 30+ minutes missed the second time around. You'd hope the OB would have learnt this time around although I doubt it. Allocation will be between 1500-2000 I reckon and will sell out to ST holders IMO.

they have to give us 10% unless there are strong safety reasons against doing so. We'd therefore get 2000. Away fans are on the other side of the Milton End these days meaning away fans coming in from the station would have to pass right by those queuing to get into the other side of the Milton. For that reason they might not split the Milton End, which means 3000 tickets. Leeds had the whole end last season and boy was it noisy.

Even when the away end at Pompey hasn't had Skates in the other half of it, they still haven't given us the whole end.

havng a roof on it to be fair makes that a great end for making noise, listened to the skates v norwich game on the radio coming back from plymouth and i think norwich had the whole end, made loads of noise.

 

can i be the the first to request the entire saints following to go in full father chrismas costume, not just those stupid hats but the full suit, hat, massive beard. that way if there is any fence shaking they'll have no idea who is who and the photo fits in the echo will be comical.

It’s happened on the past 2 visits. We got in 25-30mins into the game last time, “broken down trains”, “delays finding replacements”, “bullsh*t, bullsh*t, bullsh*t” and then a slow stop-start march down near-deserted skatey streets . In hindsight if they could have delayed us about another hour-and-half that would have dramatically improved my day.

 

The ‘away’ end was split 50-50ish for those matches.

Hope you're right but I can't see them giving us any advantage they don't have to. They will reason that extra segregation is required and take it out of our allocation, they'll have extra netting either side of us. As you say we could make a lot of noise with the entire end. There's plenty of clubs who've had a reduced allocation for security issues in the past.

So did this affect everyone who got the train, or just those who got it later, like half 1?

Last time we played there I made my own way to the ground and had no problems. If you don't want to wear colours etc then this is an easy way to avoid late trains etc. After the game had to join the group being herded to Fratton station but once there I just got on a train in the oppositee direction to P&Southsea where there were no skates to be seen.

If you can take the pain, I know I got a sinking feeling when I looked, these two pages show how the Milton was split for the last two games at **** park.

Due to the roof and slight restructuring, if the Milton End is split the skates sit the other side to where is shown in those pictures. Don't know how that affects thing's in terms of getting in/out of the ground.

We drove down in 2004, first thing we saw when we got to toilet town was some skate pikey (in full replica shirt) trying to nick a Porsche in The Good Companion car park.

 

After the game we got shoved down to Fratton station but we managed not to get put on the train. We then had to walk all the way back down Goldsmith Avenue to enable us to get our car. That was eventful to say the least.

Got the train down from Worthing for the 2004 game and was waiting near the ground for my mates who had the tickets with my jacket buttoned up covering my shirt. I saw my mates behind the police corral and approached them, with that a copper drew his truncheon and shouted 'get back, get back, get back', I pulled up my jacket to reveal my shirt and the 'get back' changed to 'get in, get in, get in'. All a bit dramatic but was all part of the fratton 'match day experience'.

they will look at last seasons away history on your season ticket as well, as this stops people from benefiting from buying tickets to away games they are not even attending to ensure a pompey ticket!

 

Surely that would be unfair, you could have somebody who had been to lots last season and none this season and get one over somebody who had been to lots this season but none last.

Can't see that happening. I went to none away last season and planning on getting 4 or so in this season to get one for pompey (and possible get some tickets and not go to to games...how Saints going to know ? they're not)

if you buy and you don't intend to go to I'll take them off you hands. You're not really going t do that though are you.
